I'm trying to find a page describing the L2, L3 und L4 modes of dladm.
It's nice to read "hashed by ip header", but how should I use that?
On the file-server it's ok to have the six interfaces serving six clients each on it's own. But an rsync connection via switch between two machines still uses only one link, is that true?
ok ok, I probably haven't expressed it clearly enough:
I have set up two interfaces with link aggregation and they work just fine!
But: When I start an rsync process or scp or whatever similar, it only uses one physical interface. So what I am looking for is a way, to distribute traffic from a single process, e.g. rsync, to both interfaces.
bonding and trunking are dependent on your type of interface they are using.
trunking would be like a qfe and link-aggr would be something like nxge.
they are pretty much the same thing.
anyway, lets see the output of ifconfig -a, dladm show-aggr and netstat -rn . finally, how are you determining that rsync or some other file transfer is only using a single interface? i have to ask if the second link in the bonded pair is up.
